About Exena-S 25/5 Tablet

Exena-S 25/5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, and dysuria (painful or difficult urination).

Exena-S 25/5 Tablet contains Solifenacin (anti-cholinergic) and Mirabegron (beta-3 adrenergic agonist).

FAQs

Exena-S 25/5 Tablet is used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, and dysuria (painful or difficult urination).

Together, Exena-S 25/5 Tablet helps in treating an overactive bladder.
There is some overlap between the symptoms of both OAB and BPH. OAB occurs due to uncontrolled urinary bladder muscle contractions. The main symptom of OAB is a sudden urge to urinate that's hard to control, which is stressful. On the other hand, BPH occurs due to an enlarged prostate gland, which puts pressure on the urinary bladder, thereby causing pain during urination.
Dry mouth could be a side effect of Exena-S 25/5 Tablet . Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol; drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might stimulate saliva and prevent drying of the mouth.
